Opportunity Summary:
The Public Messaging and Area Stewardship for Table Mesa Recreation Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00203) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant designed to support on-the-ground stewardship and improved public messaging at the Table Mesa Recreation Area. The program is structured as a Challenge Cost Share Cooperative Agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be substantially involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The core purpose, as stated in the announcement, is to create or strengthen stewardship opportunities and develop effective messages that encourage responsible use and long-term care of the recreation area.
Funding is relatively modest and targeted. The estimated total funding available is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1. BLM anticipated making up to three awards, suggesting that projects could be funded as a single larger effort or split among multiple smaller, complementary efforts depending on the proposals received and how they align with local needs. The activity category is Natural Resources, which fits the emphasis on stewardship, visitor behavior, and protection of recreational lands and associated resources.
Cost sharing or matching is not required under this opportunity, which lowers the barrier for participation by organizations that may not have dedicated matching funds. Eligibility is broadly open (unrestricted) with important exclusions: individuals, for-profit organizations, and organizations not recognized by the federal government are not eligible to apply. In practical terms, this indicates the competition was aimed at public entities, tribes, educational institutions, and nonprofit or other federally recognized organizations capable of partnering with BLM to deliver stewardship and communication outcomes.
Timing information reflects that this was a time-limited solicitation posted July 19, 2010, with an application closing date of August 4, 2010, and an archive date of August 19, 2010. That timeline implies a short application window, which is common for localized, operationally focused stewardship agreements where the agency is addressing immediate management needs at a specific site.
